The American Ally Who Cannot Move Forward

Israel is one of the most controversial countries in the world. Since its inception in the 1950's: Palestine has lost a majority of its lands, the Middle East is at unrest, and the United States' wallet gets emptier by the week, all due to Israel. Israel is one of the few nations that has a nuclear arms program. Just like India, Pakistan, and South Africa, it is one the nations in the world who runs a nuclear program illegally. Although it is a signatory of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, it is one of two states that has yet to ratify it. Iran has recently been accused of developing a nuclear program for military use. After harsh diplomatic tensions arose during the past administrations, newly elected moderate president Hassan Rouhani has allowed for transparency for the nuclear program. After the International communities are ready to start peace talks, the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who declared that this was an undesirable action. The international community should be more harsh and strict regarding Iran. Should the International community desire peace, or conflict? Israel believes conflict. It is not a good choice, and is even considered immoral. It is up to the international community to decide.

  1. The Middle East has always been and seems to continue to be the most unstable area in the world. The fact that Iran and Israel have well known affiliations with nuclear weapons should greatly concern the United States. With Israel being the single largest receiver of U.S. welfare for the past six decades, the American government should seriously reconsider where their money is going.
